Chapter 423 - The Mysterious Box  



Chapter 423: The Mysterious Box

Cook Barn did not dwell on this point. He shifted his gaze and pushed his wheelchair forward.

“You’ve done well during this period. The Dark Knights and the survivors have joined forces to deal with us. The army has suffered repeated setbacks. The improved potion you developed has helped us a lot…”

As he spoke, Cook Barn came to a wall in the reception room. He stretched out his palm and pressed it against the wall.

“I believe that the Dark Knights cannot stop our rise.”

“Click…”

A hidden secret door was opened.

“This place used to be one of the secret research institutes of the Meteorite Company. After the disaster came, I brought it with me to transform this place.”

Behind the hidden door was a long main passage.

Cook Barn pushed his wheelchair into the passage.

Fang Heng looked at Ni Shengtao and controlled the Tyrant form to follow him into the passage.

Walking along the long passage, Fang Heng pondered for a moment and tried to ask, “Commander Cook, I heard that you used to be a member of the Dark Knights?”

“Yes, that was a long time ago.”

“Why did you leave them?”

“Hehe, of course, to pursue a broader future, young man.”

Fang Heng frowned.

“You’re a potioneer and you’ve also successfully improved the warlord potion. I guess you’ve also studied the divine potion, right?”

“Yes.”

Cook Barn seemed to be testing him. He asked, “Then what did you find in the divine potion?”

“Worms.”

“Worms… Yes, worms… the mechanism of the divine potion is the worm’s body.”

As he spoke, he controlled the wheelchair to stop.

He turned his head and faced Fang Heng.

In an instant, his face gradually became distorted.

The skin on his face was slowly squirming…

Under his wrinkled skin and muscles, Fang Heng could clearly see the worm’s body squirming faintly.

Distorted and terrifying.

“Creak Creak Creak…”

The worm’s body gradually disappeared from his face.

“I was once a member of the Dark Knights. During the process of researching the first-generation meteorite, I was infected by this worm.”

“The worm invaded my brain and controlled my body. To prevent the worm’s infection from spreading, I chose to self-destruct.”

“I didn’t expect to miraculously survive after that explosion.”

“The strange thing is that the worm life in my body has gradually become quiet.”

“I have reached a strange balance with the worm in my body. Sometimes, I can feel its thoughts.”

Fang Heng frowned and asked, “What is it thinking?”

A twisted smile appeared on Cook Barn’s face. “It offered me an irresistible deal.”

Fang Heng looked at Cook Barn suspiciously.

He felt that Cook Barn’s brain might have been controlled by the worms.

“You’ll understand soon enough.”

Cook Barn turned around and continued pushing the wheelchair forward.

“Believe me, we will all be witnesses of this new era, Fang Heng.”

At the end of the passage, a large door opened in front.

Behind the door was a ring-shaped hall. In the centre of the hall stood a large mechanical facility.

More than a dozen researchers in blue clothes were pacing around the laboratory.

“What is this?”

“An Omega electromagnetic induction device. Through the special electromagnetic wave effect, we can track its whereabouts.”

“It?”

Cook Barn did not answer. He continued pushing the wheelchair, facing a large screen on the wall.

The big screen showed the map of the Zombie Apocalypse in District 7.

On the map, there were two conspicuous red circles.

“Long before the Zombie Apocalypse, the Meteorite Company made twelve special boxes. After dividing them, they hid them in every corner of the world.”

“The boxes were made of special metals. To find them, I built the Omega electromagnetic induction tower, which can search for the location of the secret boxes.”

“The search range of the main electromagnetic induction tower is limited. To expand the search range, we need to set up sub-centres of the signal towers in every corner of the world, establish a connection with the main electromagnetic tower, and expand the search range to find the specific locations of the twelve special boxes.”

“As you can see, currently, we can only find the location of two of the signal sources with the help of the main induction tower.”

Fang Heng was puzzled and asked, “What’s in the box?”

“It’s something that can give us strength.”

A ferocious smile appeared on Cook Barn’s face. He warned, “Strength also means danger. After you find it, hand it over to me. Don’t open it without permission, understand?”

“Okay.”

Fang Heng agreed. He frowned and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

The box that the Meteorite Company hid?

What was in the box?

Why did Cook Barn say that it represented strength?

Since it represented strength, why did the Meteorite Company hide it?

Putting aside his doubts, Fang Heng looked up at the red circles marked on the map.

“Commander Cook, one of the boxes is near us?”

“Yes, I have found one of the boxes. There are eleven left. The nearest box is at that place. Be careful, there is the camp of the Dark Knights there.”

[Hint: Player has completed the mission-Cook Barn’s plan.]

[Hint: Player has triggered a special main storyline mission-Mysterious box.]

Mission name: Mysterious box.

Mission description: Cook Barn wishes for you to head to the location of the signal source and look for the mysterious box that was hidden by the Meteorite Company.

Mission description: This mission will have a great negative effect on the main storyline mission. Player, please make a careful choice.

Mission reward: Main storyline mission contribution points, Scavenger Army contribution points, special unknown reward.

Fang Heng quickly skimmed through the mission hint.

Since it was related to the main storyline mission, he had to think of a way to complete it.

“Okay, I understand. I will think of a way to get the box as soon as possible.”

“Very good. Follow me. I have another good thing I want to share with you.”

As he spoke, he continued to push the wheelchair and brought Fang Heng forward.

After leaving the hall, everyone went to the special laboratory in the sixth basement of the research institute.

“Commander Cook.”

More than a dozen researchers bowed their heads and greeted him.

There were five large-scale cultivation pods in the laboratory.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and walked to one of the cultivation pods to check.

High-level creature cultivation pod!

Even his shelter in District 8 didn’t have such a high-level cultivation pod.

If he could bring it back…

Fang Heng kept his eyes on the cultivation pod.

Each cultivation pod contained a zombie corpse.

“Fang Heng, our army has been under a lot of pressure recently. The biggest problem is our manpower. Your arrival has given me some new ideas.”

“Ideas?”

“You already know how the divine potion works, so you should know the flaws of the divine potion.”
